Yeah I was sz, than szaffective, now bipolar with psychosis. I never thought I was sz though really fought that one. I'm happier with my bipolar with psychosis diagnosis but I feel like szaffective is more true to form.

My pdoc changed my diagnosis to sza once he registered that I was having psychotic symptoms without mania. This had happened before but I think this time things were just a bit more clear. I was more open about my psychosis. The problem is that I get paranoid when psychotic and don't trust anyone with the truth so it makes it hard to diagnose and treat. Now i think that the psychosis may have driven the mania rather than the other way around.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
